This section explains why you must configure server-side proxy settings to allow communication between FCS and 3DSpace Index.

In a typical installation, your FCS server is located in A whereas 3DSpace Index and central MCS servers are located in B. If a proxy has been set up, the Exalead CloudView consolidation server URL sent by the FCS server during file indexing (for example, http://<CloudView_HOST.company.A>:baseport+52) cannot be resolved.

To allow communication between FCS and 3DSpace Index, add an ftsProxyURL property for each location that needs to communicate through a proxy. During indexing, the 3DSpace Index connector at MCS passes this value to the FCS. If you do not specify a ftsProxyURL property, the Exalead CloudView server configuration found in config.xml is used.
